How much et did you drop when going from street tires to drag radials or slicks????  Thinking about getting some drag radials but I know my stock tranny and rear end may not be up to the task for very long :sad;

the rear should be good, tranny is up in the air.

Typically people drop around 4 tenths or more...

I know that this is outdated, but I remember reading an article in Car Craft/Hot Rod/whatever years ago that they saw an average of 7/10's on thier test car which was an old Chevelle. That was on BFG DRs....I would recommend the Mickey Thompsons. FWIW

I have Mickys that work pretty well, but thinking about getting the "Goodyear" Drag radials also.  Suppose to be just a good.

Get a Scanmaster first.

As far as slicks go, I'd rather break traction than an axle. Relube it first. Hell, I'd get a driveshaft loop too.

Sorry to piss in your Cherrios.
My 1958 Mamiya can beat up whatever camera you just wasted your money on.
